8 co-ops, 13 houses in Queens head to city auction

251-38 43rd Ave., Little Neck

The auction of 21 Queens co-ops and single-family homes is scheduled for Dec. 15.

Public Administrator Lois M. Rosenblatt has set upset prices ranging from $41,000 for a co-op in Jamaica to $453,000 for the single-family house in Little Neck shown at the top. All the properties belong to the estates of owners who left no will.

Sorry for the slightly weird formatting (because of my limited knowledge of HTML), but below are the available residences headed for the auction block:

As always you need a certified check payable to you equal to 10 percent of the upset price in order to bid. (A handful of the prices are subject to change.)

These are all-cash transactions that must be settled within 30 days. You can find all the terms and conditions plus a phone number on the administrator’s Web site.

Regarding the co-ops, your contract for the purchase will be void and your deposit refunded in the event that the building’s board reject your application to become a shareholder.

The properties may be inspected on Dec. 11 and Dec. 12 between 10 a.m. and 1 p.m. Please do make sure to visit any property that interests you and otherwise conduct all possible due diligence: If you win it, you’ll own it, no matter what.

The sale is to place in Room 62 of 88-11 Sutphin Blvd. in Jamaica at 11 a.m., according to the administrator’s office, “SHARP!” Right.

If you could please give me a correct answer it would be appreciated and an honest one — when a person dies how long does it take the city to find relatives if the person has a house, etc. I am under the impression and it says so on some sights legally it should take up to 6 months then the house or condo goes up for sale. Thank you and I will be awaiting your answer.
